Title: Managed a Double Post by: curdogsforhogs on December 23, 2009, 06:59:33 pm Johnf and I loaded up a couple packs of dogs and headed out for the hills today for a hunt before christmas. All our crew of hunting partners had to work so It was just he and I. That makes for a hard days hunting walking in on public ground in the mountains. Everywhere we headed out to was already occupied so it forced us to go to an area we havent hunted in awhile. JohnF brought Jade(Plott) strike dog, Butter(BMC) and to cur/plot cross pups. I loaded up Speck(cat strike dog), Bill(BMC) and Emma(Bird/Bull). We started out winding our way up the mountains without seeing any fresh sign besides a lone hog track in the trail. We cut the dogs loose and figured they could cover more ground than we would. Not long after we JohnF worked his pack towards bedding grounds and Jade struck and worked the hog out down deep in a holler. His pups and BMC went with her and had the boar bayed pretty quick. Done deal on hog one. Seems our packs never stay together. Speck and Bill were hunting out in another direction and I went to pull them on up the mountain towards the action hopping to strike on another hog that was in the group, like I had planned it Speck picked up a hog and with Bill they ran the hog about a mile in the opposite direction and stopped him in a drainage up against the mountain face. After JohnF told me his hogs was down I headed to my pack. When I made it to the bay I could see he wasn't going anywhere. He could barley standup he was so exhausted and Speck and Bill were holding him tight.Emma was trailing me so I waited for her to make it to the bay and let her work the hog. She jumped right in and grabbed the hog and then went to baying. This was her first hog since getting her but I think she is going to do great. She was fired up after finding the hog. This was the easy part. We had hogs down before noon and managed to get them out around 4pm. Tough day but very good day. Ready to hit it again.

Title: Re: Managed a Double Post by: curdogsforhogs on December 24, 2009, 10:41:02 pm Have a female cat cross that I have had for a few years. She runs semi open and hunts close to medium. She has found her own hogs but never been my lead strike dog. Works well with my pack. She was rougher than she is now but still will get in close. Boar cut her down last year but she will still pull hair.
